unittest.TestLoader and to support a more user-friendly command
line.
- Rewrote test runner and result classes to reduce duplication of effort.
- Revised configuration system to be less convoluted.
- Added nose.case.TestCase as universal wrapper for all
testcases. Plugins always see instances of this class.
- Added a management layer to the plugin system, allowing for easy use
of different plugin loading schemes. The default manager loads
builtin plugins, 0.10 plugins under the setuptools entrypoint
nose.plugins.0-10 and provides limited support for legacy plugins
loaded under the entrypoint nose.plugins.
- Added plugin hooks in all phases of discovery, running and description.
- Converted several formely core features to plugins: output capture,
assert introspection, pdb, and skipped and deprecated test support.

- Added make_decorator function to nose.tools. Used to construct decorator
functions that are well-behaved and preserve as much of the original
function's metadata as possible. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou for the patch.
- Added nose.twistedtools, contributed by Antoine Pitrou. This module adds
@deferred decorator that makes it simple to write deferred tests, with or
without timeouts.
- Added monkeypatch to doctests that keeps doctest from stepping on coverage
when the two plugins are used together. Thanks to David Avraamides for the
bug report.
- Added isolation plugin. Use this plugin to automatically restore sys.modules
after each test module or package. Thanks to Michal Kwiatkowski for the
feature request.
- Fixed bug where -vvvv turned off verbose logging instead of making it even
more verbose. Thanks to Ian Bicking for the bug report.
- Fixed bug where assert inspection would fail when the trailing """ of a
docstring was one of the inspected lines. Thanks to cito at online dot de
for the bug report.

matching the behavior of coverage.py on the command line. Thanks to Bill
Zingler for the bug report.
- Added a man page for nosetests. Thanks to Gustavo Noronha Silva for the
request and providing an example.
0.9.1
- New function nose.runmodule() finds and runs tests only in a
single module, which defaults to __main__ (like unittest.main() or
doctest.runmodule()). Thanks Greg Wilson for the suggestion.
- Multiple -w (--where) arguments can now be used in one command line,
to find and run tests in multiple locations. Thanks Titus Brown for
the suggestion.
- Multiple --include and --exclude arguments are now accepted in one command
line. Thanks Michal Kwiatkowski for the feature request.

using the new --cover-inclusive switch. Thanks James Casbon for the
patch.
- module:TestClass test selections now properly select all tests in the test
class.
- startTest and stopTest are now called in plugins at the beginning and end of
test suites, including test modules, as well as individual tests. Thanks
Michal Kwiatkowski for the suggestion.
- Fix bug in test selection when run as ``python setup.py test``: 'test' was
passing through and being used as the test name selection. Thanks Kumar
McMillan for the bug report.
- Fix bug in handling of -x/--stop option where the test run would stop on
skipped or deprecated tests. Thanks Kumar McMillan for the bug report.

report a better error message when a fixture is not callable. Thanks Ian
Bicking for the bug report.
0.9.0
- More unit tests and better test coverage. Numerous bugfixes deriving from
same.
- Make --exe option do what it says, and turn it on by default on
Windows. Add --noexe option so windows users can turn if off.Thanks
richard at artsalliancemedia dot com for the bug reports.
- Handle a working directory that happens to be in the middle of a package
more gracefully. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report and test case.
- Fix bugs in test name comparison when a test module is specified whose name
overlaps that of a non-test module. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report
and test case.
- Fix warning spam when a non-existent test file is requested on the command
line. Thanks Max Ischenko for the bug report.

- Fix bug in nose.tools decorators that would cause decorated tests to appear
with incorrect names in result output.
0.9.0a2
- In TestLoader, use inspect's isfunction() and ismethod() to filter functions
and methods, instead of callable(). Thanks to Kumar McMillan for reporting
the bug.
- Fix doctest plugin: return an empty iterable when no tests are found in a
directory instead of None. Thanks to Kumar McMillan for the bug report and
patch.
- Ignore executable python modules, unless run with --exe file. This is a
partial defense against nose causing trouble by loading python modules that
are not import-safe. The full defense: don't write modules that aren't
import safe!
- Catch and warn about errors on plugin load instead of dying.
- Renamed builtin profile module from nose.plugins.profile to
nose.plugins.prof to avoid shadowing stdlib profile.py module.
0.9.0a1
- Add support for plugins, with hooks for selecting, loading and reporting on
tests. Doctest and coverage are now plugins.

suggestion and patch.
- Add nose.tools package with some helpful test-composition functions and
decorators, including @raises, contributed by Scot Doyle.

nose will ensure that all directories from which it imports anything are on
sys.path before the import.)
- Logging package used for verbose logging.
- Support for skipped and deprecated tests.
- Configuration is no longer global.
0.8.7
- Add support for py.test-style test generators. Thanks to Jay Parlar for

- Add -m option to restrict test running to only tests in a particular package
or module. Like the -f option, -m does not restrict test *loading*, only
test *execution*.
- When loading and running a test module, ensure that the module's path is in
sys.path for the duration of the run, not just while importing the module.
- Add id() method to all callable test classes, for greater unittest
compatibility.
0.8.6

'python setup.py test', as advertised.
- Code coverage improvements: now coverage will be output for all modules
imported by any means that were not in sys.modules at the start of the test
run. By default, test modules will be excluded from the coverage report, but
you can include them with the -t (--cover-tests) option.
0.8.4
- Fix bugs in handling of setup/teardown fixtures that could cause TypeError
exceptions in fixtures to be silently ignored, or multiple fixtures of the
same type to run. Thanks to Titus Brown for the bug report.
0.8.3
- Add -V (--version) switch to nosetests
- Fix bug where sys.path would not be set up correctly when running some
tests, producing spurious import errors (Thanks to Titus Brown and Mike
Thomson for the bug reports)
- For test classses not derived from unittest.TestCase, output (module.Class)
"doc string" as test description, when method doc string is available
(Thanks to David Keeney for the suggestion, even if this isn't quite what he
meant)
0.8.2
- Revise import to bypass sys.path and manipulate sys.modules more
intelligently, ensuring that the test module we think we are loading is the
module we actually load, and that modules loaded by other imports are not
reloaded without cause

testMatch but lacking an __init__.py would cause an ImportError when located
inside of packages

activate with --coverage switch or NOSE_COVERAGE environment variable
- More informative error message on import error
- Fix bug where module setup could be called twice and teardown skipped
for certain setup method names.
- main() returns success value, does not exit. run_exit() added to support
old behavior; nosetests script now calls nose.run_exit()
0.7.5
- Fix bus error on exit
- Discover tests inside of non-TestCase classes that match testMatch
- Reorganize selftest: now selftest tests the output of a full nose run
- Add test_with_setup.py contributed by Kumar McMillan
